I'm not leaving anymore.. plans fell through, had my life flip over for me.. now pursuing to progress my career as a network engineer, taking classes for Cisco certifications and generally looking to find another place to work.

A bike you can break all the laws in without leaving 1st gear... I ride my roommate's CBR1000 occasionally, and I can never even begin to approach the redline while commuting to work (on the highway).

Definition of the phrase "crotch rocket."

I know this technically isn't a "Sport" bike, but....I rented a BMW K1200LT this weekend and did some touring with my wife. We rode for about 6hrs and logged a few hundred miles in the Hill Country.

Impressions:

That sucker is heavy, and hard to maneuver at crawl speeds, but once you get over ~5mph, the weight disappears and she's surprisingly nimble for a big girl.

The engine is super smooth and pulls like a freight train. Taking off from red lights was so much fun, and cruising on the highway was just a joy. But most importantly, the bike is AMAZINGLY comfortable and had more creature comforts than most compact sedans ( wife actually fell asleep in the back).

Part of the reason I rented it is because I've been toying with the idea of buying a bike for long distance riding, and have been evaluating the different options on the market. While I love the bike for its comfort and highway performance, the weight is a deal breaker for me.

My wife decided she wanted to get a motorcycle. We went out shopping this weekend and ended up trading her Honda Ruckus in for a 2012 CBR250R. So far we have spent about 4 hours in large parking lots teaching her how to ride and she is catching on way quicker then I expected. Looking forward to doing some motorcycle rides with my wife.
